• I need a couple parent volunteers for some computer projects.
• The first, I’d like to prepare a Power Point presentation with the first 500 words of the English language for some of our struggling readers to practice with. I’d send home the list of words, and you could create the presentation and email it back to me, or send it in on a disk.
• The second, I’d like to work on doing some sentence correcting from a book I have called “Daily Oral Language.” However, I’d like to sentences typed into a Word document so that I can make them into overhead transparencies and save paper!
